The Cardinals lost Game 3, failing to sweep the Brewers, but won the series 2-1, thanks in part to Arenado, who contributed with his bat and glove in key plays.

Now the Cards head to Great American Ball Park to begin a series against another division rival, the Reds. In Cincinnati, for the 2024 season, the Cardinals were swept by the Reds in their last series at Great American Ball Park.

The Reds were able to complete what was likely going to be a sweep at Coors Field against the weak Rockies. Sunday's game was the easiest game they won, with a final score of 8-1. It was a 14-hit day for the Reds, with Steer, De La Cruz, Hays, and Lux ​​all having two hits. Curiously, it was a game without a home run, where Lodolo returned to shine, pitching a no-hitter until the sixth inning and finishing with a line of 7.0 innings pitched, two hits, and nine strikeouts.

Nick Martinez is the piece of the Reds' starting pitching force that can't quite keep pace with Greene and Lodolo. Martinez will be the Reds' starting pitcher to open the series against the Cardinals. His longest outing remains his first of the season, where he pitched six innings.

St. Louis Cardinals - Cincinnati Reds Key Points

  1. Pallante, the Cardinals' starter, has allowed four home runs in 2025
  2. The Cardinals have the best team AVG in MLB with 267
  3. The Cardinals' 2-11 record playing away from Busch Stadium
  4. At Great American Ball Park, the Reds average 1.3 HRs per game

Our St. Louis Cardinals vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

Pallante was beaten by the Braves in a game the Cardinals nonetheless won in his last outing. The Cards' right-hander's best outing came at home. Meanwhile, his team would lose the game in the last five outings Nick Martinez pitched. Therefore, a Game Total OVER seems like a sound bet. The Cardinals' O/U record this season on the road is 8-4-1. Our prediction for Cardinals vs Reds is: Over 8.5 runs.
